Tricky (★★★★✩), a very loud silence and other albums of the week

One of the legends of trip hop, the British producer Adrian Thaws, breaks his recording silence as such after six years since Fall to pieces (although it has been a period of time he has invested in exploring different projects and even parallel identities, such as Lonely guest or Theis thaws). A wait that, as the cliché goes but is true, has been worth it, since the 14 tracks that bring the brand new album to life invite you to enter its interior.

The debut was a debate with correspondents from La Vanguardia and RAC1 who had been or were still on the front lines in Ukraine or neighboring borders. The Eyes of the War was the title, and the auditorium of the Círculo Ecuestre was packed to capacity to hear the experiences of María Paz López, Félix Flores, Plàcid Garcia Planas, Jordi Armenteras, and Joaquín Luna. It was a resounding success. So much so that a month later, we repeated with a special guest, the Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs, José Manuel Albares. Since then, approaching five years of existence and fifty editions, the Forums have expanded the range of topics and, in the process, have become fully integrated into Barcelona’s agenda, becoming one of the city’s essential events.
